Guys,

Thanks for the quick responses.  I have ordered a new ECI cylinder = after getting a compression of 80/58 in the one offending cyclinder.  = FWI, it appears that ECI shipped a batch of bad rings a year or so = ago.  I talked to the distributor in my area and he said that ECI = shipped a batch of defective rings in which the laser weld within the = rings was improperly utilized at the factory.  The apparent remedy is = to replace the offending rings.  I've ordered a complete new = cylinder, piston, rings, etc.  I plan on sending the cyclinder back = for evaluation.  Maybe a factory problem/Maybe not. 

I threw out the additive idea to see if it would =22stick to the = wall=22.  Thanks for the learnered response, it's much = appreciated.  I would not have gone to NAPA and thrown in a can = of STP or some other automotive gouoo, but thought there might be an = aviation equivalent.  After taking to my AP/IA, I pretty much tossed = that idea out.  I really appreciate the responses, I'd much rather be = slapped around on the ground then have bigger issues in the air.  Air = Wolf oil separator is on the UPS truck coming my = way.
